2. Apply the Cuff correctly as described in Initial Setup.
3. Press the START/STOP Button. The monitor will inflate automatically. Remain still and quiet.
4. Reading: The cuff will deflate automatically. Your systolic pressure, diastolic pressure, and pulse rate will display.
5. The monitor will automatically store the reading with the date and time.
6. To turn the unit off, press the START/STOP button again or wait for automatic shut-off.

WARNING! Do not move your arm or body during measurement. Do not inflate the cuff when it is not wrapped around your arm.

Understanding the Display

The LCD screen shows icons and values.

Main Values: Systolic Pressure (top number), Diastolic Pressure (middle number), Pulse Rate (bottom number).

Icons:
⏰: Date/Time stamp.
❤️: Pulse beat indicator (flashes with heartbeat).
⚠️ (with wavy lines): Body Movement Detection alert.
⚠️ (with heart): Irregular Heartbeat Detection alert.
🔼: Hypertension Indicator (lights if reading is above 135/85 mmHg).
M: Memory recall mode.
AVG: Average mode indicator.
Battery icon: Shows remaining power.

Memory Function

The monitor stores up to 200 readings.

1. To view memory: Press the 'M' button. The most recent reading displays.
2. Press 'M' again to scroll through previous readings. The display shows the reading number, values, date, and time.
3. To view the average of the last 3 readings taken within 10 minutes, press and hold the 'M' button for 3 seconds while in memory mode. The 'AVG' icon will appear.
4. To clear all memory: With the unit off, press and hold the 'M' button while inserting the air plug into the unit. Keep holding until 'CLr' appears on the display.

Note: Clearing memory is irreversible.

Advanced Features

Utilize the monitor's intelligent detection systems.

• Irregular Heartbeat Detection (IHD): If an irregular rhythm is detected during measurement, the IHD icon will appear next to the reading. Consult your physician if this icon appears frequently.
• Body Movement Detection: If you move during inflation or measurement, the body movement icon will flash. The reading may be inaccurate. Remain still and retake the measurement.
• Hypertension Indicator: If your systolic reading is 135 mmHg or higher OR your diastolic reading is 85 mmHg or higher, the hypertension indicator will light up.
• Automatic Inflation Level (IntelliSense): The monitor determines the optimal inflation pressure based on your systolic pressure, minimizing discomfort.

Care & Maintenance

Proper care ensures longevity and accuracy.

1. Cleaning: Wipe the monitor and cuff with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use alcohol, benzene, thinner, or other chemicals. Do not immerse in water.
2. Storage: Disconnect the cuff. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, dust, and humidity. Do not wrap the air hose tightly.
3. Cuff Care: The cuff is machine washable. Remove the air hose and D-ring. Wash in lukewarm water (40°C/104°F max) with mild detergent. Air dry completely before reconnecting.
